Hi,
my NFS client machines (opensuse 12.1) freeze if i try to copy large files to the NFS Server (opensuse 11.4). It seems that the /proc filesystem blocks somewhere and user processes freeze therefore. The files are ~10GB and bigger than RAM+swap (=8GB). It also works if i generate a 10GB file with dd on the nfs mounted filesystem. Can someone confirm? Or has a solution?
Thanks!
Yeah, this is a problem being around for some time. I've seen this happening first in 11.3 and it has been there since then. Even worse, the NFS server became completely unresponsive as well. (which might be the reason for the client behavior) Back then, I read about some race condition where swap was involved and that this is actually a bug that appeared in an early 2.6 kernel version. Well, solution for me is to use rsync for files > NFS server memory. @opensuse: This should really be looked at!
